-WATER-HEATER;

To allvohom itma e concern: :Be'itfknown that I, JACO J. HIEBER'I, a. citizen of the United States, residingat Mountain Lake, in the county of "Cottonwood and State of Minnesota; have, invent; ed new and-useful Improvements in Vaterf, Heaters, of which the following is specifi;

, cation.

The invention relates to heaters, and mor particularly to the class of water heaters.

The primary obj ect' of the invention isthe provision of a heater wherein exha st steam" is circulated throughT'a" coil which is disposed within the body of the heater so that. the water contained therein will becomeheated from the coil: andfcan be drained therefromfor anydesireduse.

Another object of the inventionis .thepro vision of aheater wherein the steam coilhas associated therewithat intervals baffle plates which cause the cold water to remain passive about the coil for the heating thereof,

7 while the hot water is precipitatedthroughout the extent of the coil, thereby assuring the thorough ,heatingfof the 'water within the heater."

A further object of the invention is the" provision, of a heater of this character wherein the entire constructionthereofus of novel form to assure the p rfectorking of the same and also tofallow the cleaning thereof when the occasionrequires. f f

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a heater of this character which is simple in construction, reliable and efficient in itsuseQstrorig, durable, and inexpensive in manufacture and installation.

With these and other objects invi'ew, the invention consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of 'part's'as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure l is a front elevation of a heater constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the heater; Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, looking in the direc tion of the arrows. Fig. 5 is a horizontal transverse sectional view on the line 55 of- Fig. 3, looking inthe direction of the arrows. Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line 66 of Fig. 1.

responding) parts throughout the several views in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the

heater comprises a body'or casing 10form-,

ing a water container or receptacle support ed upon legs 11, and has in its bottom a removable screw threaded plug 12 so that the same can befreadily and easilydrained for. the cleaning of the container when the occasion requires. Located within the body or casing 10 is a sinuous coil formed from a plurality of pipe like sections 13-, the meeting ends of which are provided with flanges 14. through which are passed bolt members 15' for detachably" connecting the pipe sections.

l3together. At the bottom of this coil and extending therefrom through one side of the body or casing 10 is an inlet pipe section 16" through which is introduced the steam to thecoil, while at the opposite end of thelatter and extended through the top of. the body or casinglOis the outlet pipe section 17 for delivery of steam from the said coil. Thesteam withinthe coil serves to heat the water within the body or casing 10, and this water circulates therein in a manner presently described.

Tapped or otherwise mounted to extend through thetop of the body or casing 10'is a T-shaped. water inlet nozzle 18 which delivers the water into the casing or body 10,

while arranged interiorly of the latter contiguous to the points of the bendsin the coil formed from the respective pipe sections 13 are baffle plates ,19 which serve to retard the progress of the cold water by causing the backing thereof at intervals throughout the extent of the coil, While the hot: water will freely flow thereover and precipitate 'intotrouglis 2O fixed interiorly ofthe bodyor; casing 10 alternately at opposite sides thereof so as to be located at the bends in the steam coil for deflecting the water through feed tubes 21 mounted in the sections 13 of the coil and extending entirely through the bends therein, the water when circulating in this manner being thoroughly heated, whence it may be drawn off through the outlet 22 which is in the form of a flanged nipple 23 adapted to be detachably connected with any suitable suction pump.

Connected to and leading from the lowermost stretch of the steam coil through the bottom of the body or casing 10 is a drain pipe 24 so as to relieve condensation in the V coil. Provided in the front of the body or casing 10 are suitable doorways hich-are closed through the medium of "door sections which are detachably fastened in.

position for closing the doorways in any suitable manner, and on the removal of these door sections 25 access maybe had to the coil of the interior of the body or'casing of the heater for cleaning purposes.

Mounted on one side of'the body' or casing lOandcommumcatmg therewlth is'a suitable Water gage 26 for determining the quantity of Water therein.

From the foregoingdescription, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and manner of operatic-n of the dev ce Wlll be clearly understood, and therefore a more extended ex-a planation has been omitted.

What is claimed is r- 1. Awater heater comprising a Water container, having an inlet and outlet, a sinuous shaped steam coil arranged interiorly ofthe container and having opposite ends passed through the respective top and side thereof, Water circulating tubes passed transversely through the coil at the points of the bights therein, and troughs arranged interiorly of shaped steam coil arranged interiorly of the container and having opposite ends passed through the respective top and side thereof, water circulating tubes passed transversely through the coilj at the points of the bights therein, troughs arrangedinteriorly of the container at thepoints of the tubes for deflecting the water therethrough, and baflie plates arranged directly above the super-' posed stretches of the steam coil.

' 3. A Water heatercomprising a Water container, having an inlet and'outlet, a sinuous,

shaped steam coil arranged interiorly of the container and having opposite ends passed through the respective top and side thereof, Water circulating tubes passed transversely through the coil at the points of the bights therein, troughs arranged interiorly of the container at the points of the tubes for deflecting the Water therethrough, ba'flle plates marranged directly above the superposed stretches of the steam coil, and a drain pipe 7 leading from the lowermost stretch of the coil throughthe bottom of the container.

4. A Water heater comprisinga Water container, having an inlet and outlet, a sinuous shaped steam coil arranged interiorly of the container and having opposite ends passed i through the respective top and side thereof, Water 'circulating tubes passed transversely" through'the coil at the points of the bights therein, troughs arranged interiorly ofthe container at the points of the tubes for deflecting the Water therethrough', baffle plates arranged directly. above the superposed stretches of the steam coil, a drain pipe leading from the'lowermo'st stretch of the coil,

through the bottom oftlie container,and a plurality of superposed jdoors detachably mounted on the front of the container. 7

5. A water heater comprising a Water con tainer, having'an inlet and outlet, a sinuous shaped steam coil arranged interiorly ofthe container and having opposite ends passed through the respective top and side thereof, Water circulatin tubes passed transversely through the coil at the points of the bights therein, troughs arranged interiorly of the container at the points of the tubes for defleeting the Water therethrough, baflie plates arranged directly abovev the superposed stretches of the" steam coil, a drain'pipe lead-j ing from the lowermost stretch of the coil through the bottom .ofthe container, a plurality of superposed doors detachably mounted on the front of the container, and a removable plug at thebottom of the container.
